I really want the mid credit scene in a 5 pack...since we already have one figure.

I've been thinking about it and I'd love to see that as well. I won't get my hopes up though...We're still missing major characters from the movie, like Gamora and the HIgh Evolutionary.

Without getting into any kind of spoilers, I'll say that this movie was truly great. I think it was a very good way to end the franchise or the trilogy anyway and this movie felt like it was made for a reason. Unlike AntMan 3 which just felt like had to be made to get us to know Kang and move closer/get a teaser of the Kang Dynasty. This movie focused on its characters instead of the wider storyline and that's why the result was so goood.

I really want the mid credit scene in a 5 pack...since we already have one figure. I hope we actually do see that set up in action soon.

Just saw it again. It was packed on a Monday night. It got a round of applause to boot. I really am hoping word of mouth helps this pick up speed.

Watched it today and loved it. I will say despite being a GOTG movie and other factors, this is a Rocket movie first and foremost.

As for Adam, he is great. He is very much like he was when he started in the in the comics.

I also like to say another female GOTG made their debut as well in the mid-credit.

Promise I'm not trying to start a fight or any bs, but I liked Adam Warlocks character arc. I feel like it mirrored Rocket. Another science experiment being used for ends he doesn't understand. His first few minutes on screen are totally awesome. There are some jokes there because he's naive, but they aren't really haha jokes. They start me feeling sorry for him. I'm excited for his MCU future by the end.

Agree completely

I cant wait to watch it again tomorrow. It is such a beautiful film and a great sendoff to this version of the team. Easily my favorite 3rd movie in the MCU, or tied to Infinity War, but that feels like cheating. GotG was already my favorite movie and it was shaping up to be my favorite trilogy, but it truly went above and beyond what I was expecting. This makes me very excited for what Gunn has in store for DC

I liked this movie quite a bit, the Rocket arc is awesome, and this movie will really pull your heartstrings, some of the team jokes and dynamics felt a bit dated, but the whole composition that was this movie was a nice end to the trilogy. it was an entertaining ride that was for sure, from laughter, to cheering and tons of tears, the whole theatre was weeping at several points, and that says a lot.

I felt like I was stuck watching the first series finale of Magnum P.I., the one before they renewed it for another year and then ended it properly.

I haven't seen it yet but from what I can tell Adam is exactly like he was when he was introduced in that comic. Young naive and innocent, acting nearly as a child. It was until jim starlin took over that he became what he is.

Potential spoilers!!!

Rocket's story is the best thing about this movie, it's emotional and sincere but at the time might seem like that Gunn is trying emotionally manipulate viewers by showing horrible stuff happening to the cutest CGI characters but it still has heart and emotional weight.

Problems only start when it isn't about Rocket, the whole team dynamic just doesn't feel right and seems like an SNL parody of the first movie rather than their natural evolution, situational comedy is also mostly dated and works half the time, less is more would work wonderfully with the jokes in this, same can be said about over usage of songs in every second scene, which gave me original Suicide Squad memories...

But the worst offender is Adam Warlock, I don't wanna spoil anything but what was the point of including him because 1) It isn't even a good introduction 2) He doesn't meaningfully serve the story in any way 3) surprise he's a "joke character", of course, it wouldn't be a James Gunn movie if he didn't portray one of the most powerful characters as total Joke, but it's getting old and stale when you keep doing it over and over, maybe his real story ended up on cutting floor and my opinion would be far different if we could see his story more developed but he's still a character that could have been easily cut and better incorporated into his own series.

In a nutshell, the movie is worth watching just for the Rocket story arc alone but everything else in the movie seems to be an afterthought, which is nonetheless still more entertaining and fun than last Ant-Man and Thor.
